Emergency lighting serves as a critical lifeline during power failures, ensuring safe evacuation and preventing panic in darkness.

What one happy customer says:

We've worked with Collingwood Primary School for many years, maintaining their fire safety systems. Their attention to detail and appreciation for quality workmanship mirrors our own commitment to excellence.

‘It is often the case that we're very quick to criticise work that's undertaken or services made but I kind of like to turn that on its head.

Tom was working here at Easter and this summer holiday to complete works to the new fire system...

I'd like to express my appreciation for his high standards and work ethic.

He's explained things in detail when I've queried something or expressed an interest in the work he was carrying out.

He's been amazingly polite and courteous to all staff that have been on site and that has been appreciated.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company to other schools or companies should the subject arise.’

Chris Caton, Collingwood Primary School

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does a Typical Emergency Lighting Installation Take to Complete?

We'll plan your emergency lighting installation timeline based on your building's size and requirements. Most projects take 1-3 days, but we'll provide a detailed schedule during our project planning consultation to meet your needs.

What Is the Average Lifespan of Emergency Lighting Batteries?

We typically see emergency lighting batteries last 3-4 years with proper battery maintenance. However, lifespan factors like usage frequency and environmental conditions can impact this. We'll help monitor and replace them to ensure continued functionality.

Can Emergency Lighting Be Integrated With Existing Building Management Systems?

Yes, emergency lighting can be integrated with existing building management systems. Modern solutions enable compatibility with BMS platforms, providing centralised control and monitoring capabilities. The integration allows for automated testing, status reporting and real-time alerts while maintaining independent backup power to meet safety regulations and compliance requirements.

How Often Should Emergency Lighting Bulbs Be Replaced?

We recommend replacing emergency lighting bulbs every 4 years as part of your regular maintenance schedule, though individual bulb lifespan may vary. We'll track replacement dates and ensure regular maintenance checks are performed according to safety standards.

What Happens to Emergency Lighting During a Prolonged Power Outage?

During power failures, emergency lighting activates immediately using backup batteries, providing 3 hours of illumination for safe evacuation. Regular testing and maintenance ensure these systems remain functional and ready to protect occupants during emergencies.
